RARE EGYPTIAN REVIVAL TRIPOD FLOOR STAND. WITH "NATIONAL PARK"

Joslin,
Gilman. Joslin's Terrestrial Globe containing all the late
discoveries and geographical improvements, also the tracks of the
most celebrated circumnavigators. Compiled from Smith's new
English Globe, with additions and improvements by Annin & Smith.
Revised by G.W. Boynton. Manufactured by Gilman Joslin. Boston.
c1873. (after 1872, before 1889). Handsome 12 inch floor globe
with engraved and hand colored gores over an orb of hollow metal
dressed in plaster. Time scales at North and South Poles are part
of the gore surface design, large analemma scale in Pacific.
Oceans finished a subdued tan, some exploration voyage track
dated. Engraved brass full ring meridian set within a cast iron
conforming cradle supporting wooden horizon ring with paper scale.
Raised on three turned screw-in black walnut legs that form a
tripod, paint and gilt decorated with bands of Egyptian motif.
Overall height 39 inches. Western United States shows National
Park (1872) and Dakota Territory undivided. Very nicely preserved
without blemishes to orb, few spots on horizon ring scale.
American globes prior to 1890 often used pre-Civil War maps as
their basis, updating geographical boundaries in colored inks on
the surface during coloring. Visual beauty rather than geographic
timeliness was often the rule. Boynton's revision makes real
changes to the engraving plate, "National Park" (Yellowstone)
being one. The beginning of accuracy in American globe
cartography. On a rare and exquisite floor stand. A true
conversation piece.

W.
& A. K. Johnston. Edinburgh. 30 Inch Globe / Weber Costello
Co. / Chicago Heights, Ill. / 1912. It is fitting that the
globe gores were printed in Scotland by W. & A. K. Johnston, as
this magnificent globe was "Presented by Class of March 8th 1912"
as a gift to the Los Angeles Scottish Rite Temple. The globe was
given within weeks of HMS Titanic's voyage possibly with a similar
fine globe on board. The Masons kept it in superb condition for
nearly a century at Hope Street and then 357 Wilshire Blvd.

This appears to be a custom
made Scottish set of paper gores which, unlike other 30 inch floor
globe models using the Johnston gores we have in stock, displays a
select group of cities in much larger red letters, such as
Hamilton (Ontario), Havana, Santo Domingo, Mexico (City),
Cartagena, Caracas, Lima, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Ayres, (and other
South American Capitals), European capitals from Dublin,
Edinburgh, London to Madrid, Rome, Athens, to Stockholm, Berlin,
Budapest and Christiania. Bombay, Cairo and Constantinople are the
only cities highlighted in Asia or Africa. The Russian Empire has
St. Petersburg (pre-1913), Trans Caspian Province, and The Steppes
in Central Asia below Western Siberia. The ŇAustria Hungarian
MonarchyÓ includes Budweis & Prague in Bohemia. China and Japan
are also major empires. Korea is the name above Seoul and Cho Sen
(Jaoanese controlled) is below. Submarine cables stretch like
spider webs across oceans. 16 cross the North Atlantic dating from
1873 to 1901. Ship lanes and distances are given in this the year
of HMS TitanicŐs tragic maiden voyage. Three notations near the
North Pole give farthest points reached.

The 30 inch plaster orb with
shellacked paper gores is mounted in an unpolished and engraved
brass meridian which sets on roller bearings within a full mount
cradle with four conforming braces supporting the horizon ring.
The months and astrological signs of the original horizon ring
paper are perfectly preserved. A massive 10 inch square plinth
above four extended feet with casters supports the globe and
cradle. The stand is a rich, dark mahogany. Except for a few
imperfections, such as minor abrading of shellac, the entire
ensemble is in superb condition, a tribute to the care exercised
by the Los Angeles Masons in their 98 year stewardship.
Provenance photos and documents available.

the Russians recorded the lowest Fahrenheit temperature, 126.8 Deg
below zero in 1980. Other notes include one stating that Pinyin
translations were used for most Chinese names in English. Has
